    Nobody really cares more about what movie stars say than anyone else, but movie stars do have a lot of money and, very often, a lot of free time. Al Franken, who has been on both sides of the entertainer/politician controversy, (and is very liberal) points out that most entertainers are actually rather conservative except for questions of censorship, where they are very liberal

    You're confused. You hear from journalists because it's their job to tell people what's going on. You hear from actors because people pay attention to what they say. I am willing to bet that a majority of scientists are also against Trump, but they don't spend their time writing editorials. Trump's adversarial relationship with the media is mostly a function of his adversarial relationship with the truth. And a decent person who entertains people, or makes tacos, or cleans bathrooms is better for society than a destructive leader like Trump. It does no good to be unique if you're uniquely horrible. And you don't stay with people based upon whether they're accomplished or even unique (aren't we all). The DiCaprio character's response is just an example of how a spiteful, insecure person like Trump would respond.

    Well....Apparently the military was satisfied that the H-4 was substantial.....Stop moving the goalposts......the only reason the H-4 went no further is that it was no longer needed...Did you even read the article I posted?

    Are you suggesting Olivia De Havilland (of Gone with the Wind) designed and built the Mosquito?

    Or was that some other Western genius?

    To whomever above, it's fine with me that people are against Trump, even though too many are embarrassing themselves with this Not My President tantrum. I voted for Johnson because both R's and D's have become too statist. I just find it amusing that liberal movie stars express an opinion and the media treats it as the Word of God, thus giving credence to the conservatives' claims that the media and Hollywood (and the Ivory Towers) have closed and utterly predictable minds. They are too boring to be on TV.

    That would be Geoffrey de Havilland; indeed a genius.

    Actually, it was her cousin Geoffrey De Havilland who designed and built the Mosquito.

    How many actors would you say are Republican vs. Democrat? I'd love to hear this.
